✅ گروهی که آشنایی با اقتصاد رفتاری ندارند تصور می‌کنند این هم موجی زودگذر است که می‌آید و تمام می‌شود اما گروهی دیگر معتقدند با ادغام هر چه بیشتر روانشناسی و علوم شناختی در اقتصاد، به جایی خواهیم رسید که همه اقتصاد رفتاری خواهد شد.

این یک مطلب خوب و مختصر در اهمیت اقتصاد رفتاری و طرفدار دیدگاه دوم که معتقد است اقتصاد رفتاری آمده است تا نقاط ضعف اقتصاد نئوکلاسیک را برطرف ‌کند و جای خودش را هر چه بیشتر باز کند.
مطلب پس از اعلام جایزه نوبل، اما براساس سخنرانی نویسنده در کنفرانس اقتصاد و روانشناسی در دانشگاه هلسینکی در ماه می ۲۰۱۷ نوشته شده است.

✅ Recently something has changed. Neoclassical and behavioral economists alike often go out of their way to downplay the differences.
✅ What happened? What is behavioral economics, and how does it differ from neoclassical economics? Is there a difference at all?
✅ What I’m calling standard, or neoclassical, economics is social science in the tradition of 1992 Nobel laureate Gary Becker, who wrote, “The combined assumptions of maximizing behavior, market equilibrium, and stable preferences, used relentlessly and unflinchingly, form the heart of the economic approach as I see it.”
✅ Like Becker, many standard economists identify their approach to economics with economics, full stop—so that those who reject the assumptions don’t even count as economists. If you’ve studied economics in college and don’t know what kind it was, it’s almost certain that it was neoclassical economics.
✅ Every component of Becker’s economic approach has come under fire from behavioral economists, generating a spirited debate going back at least half a century.
✅ Behavioral economists have never been opposed to all uses of standard theory. Behavioral economics is not only built on the premise that mainstream economic methods are great, but also that most mainstream economic assumptions are great.”
✅ By definition, behavioral economics tries to increase the explanatory and predictive power of economic theory by providing it with more psychologically plausible foundations. Getting rid of neoclassical theories, methods, and assumptions when they work would amount to throwing out the baby with the bathwater. What behavioral economists do instead is to incorporate ideas drawn above all from contemporary psychology when necessary and appropriate.
